The leadership of the People's Democratic Party, PDP, Ebonyi State, has rejected the comment of Mr Chukwuma Odii on the support for President Tinubu in the coming 2027 election.
In a statement by the PDP/APM Spokesman in Ebonyi State, Mr Nwafor Richard Nwali, vowed that the party is committed to reset Nigeria project
Our attention has been drawn to a statement attributed to Chief Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii, who has continued to present himself as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State.
His statement reads in full:
"We wish to state unequivocally that the position expressed in the said statement does not represent the position of the PDP structure in Ebonyi State under the leadership of High Chief Onyema Nwele.
"The Ebonyi PDP leadership remains committed to its political direction and will not support or campaign for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
"We therefore urge the people of Ebonyi State and members of the PDP to carefully distinguish between the positions of genuine party structures and individuals whose actions or statements may create confusion within the party.
"The issue surrounding the recognition of the PDP governorship candidacy in Ebonyi State remains a matter of internal party and political contestation.
"We maintain our position that the long-standing zoning principle in Ebonyi State must be respected and that the legitimate interests of all stakeholders must be protected.
The PDP in Ebonyi State remains committed to democratic principles, internal consultation, justice, equity and the rule of law.
"At the national level, we reaffirm our alignment with the PDP leadership associated with Kabiru Tanimu Turaki and our commitment to the RESET NIGERIA MOVEMENT under His Excellency, Engr. Oluseyi Abiodun Makinde.
"The 2027 election presents Nigerians with an opportunity to decide the direction of the country. Our position is that the next administration must prioritise security, economic prosperity, accountability, job creation, human dignity and inclusive governance.
"We therefore call on the good people of Ebonyi State to remain vigilant, reject political deception and participate actively in the democratic process. We invite all Ebonyians and Nigerians who desire a new direction to join the RESET NIGERIA MOVEMENT as we work towards building a prosperous, secure and inclusive Nigeria".
Recall that Mr Odii, in a television interview monitored in lagos declared that the PDP in the State will support the re-election of President Tinubu come 2027 general election, a comment which did not go well with the party leadership in the State.
